The Burrowers trailer

Two of my favorite genres – the Western and the monster movie – meet up in this film, coming soon from Lion’s Gate. Video quality is a little poor but you get the idea. I think this looks kind of good – you? A writer for Ain’t It Cool News saw this at a festival and called it “probably the best American made horror film produced in the last several years.” I don’t totally trust those guys (they tend to suffer from premature ejaculation syndrome) but I’ll say this – they like and know horror movies. Cross yer fingers.

From what I can tell they’re aiming to be faithful to the sensibilities of both genres and succeeding. The trailer is a little long and has a lot of cut images of people firing guns and screaming which worries me about the creative instincts of the people involved but I place my money on “good”-to-“great.”

“Looks like you found yerself a hole in the ground.” Yep, good-to-great.

FBI Listening List

The Devil's Blood, "Come Reap"

Given the band name and album cover, and this blog's musical predilections, you'd be forgiven for thinking this was another death metal band. Actually they're a retro rock/metal band that sounds like the perfect choice to do a new soundtrack for the original "Wicker Man" - somewhere between early Heart, Jethro Tull, and Sabbath, with a serious occult fixation. If we had a time machine and lived in hell this band would be on the radio all day long.

The Soviettes, "LP III"

Yelpy female-fronted punk with close precedents in the frantic, minimalist likes of Wire and Stiff Little Fingers. People who like the original punk bands and are tired of the Warped Tour can find refuge here.

Tiwony, "Viv La Vi"

French creole dancehall from Ethiopia. And really really good, even though I don't understand 2/3 of it. You'll have to Google it - I found it on one obscure legal download site and one seller of French music of all types.

Behemoth, "Evangelion"

Not named after the anime. Behemoth is just a beast in their genre - over-the-top death metal with black metal overtones and a taste for ancient mythology and Egyptian-sounding riffs. I find them a little more accessible than Nile, their kissing cousin both musically and lyrically.
